High-quality two-way Bluetooth streaming

The Pulse Mini 2i features aptX® HD Bluetooth streaming for higher-fidelity sound with compatible Bluetooth devices. The system is backward-compatible with earlier forms of Bluetooth, too.

Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i Reviews

Great speaker

Great product. Connect in to wireless and to the Bluesound app was very easy. The sound is great and streaming Tidal high quality MQA sounds awesome on this device. I have not yet had a chance to load the Alexa skill to control the streaming and volume yet but look forward to that step. The power of the speaker is amazing and will not only drive a large room but also works great in my poolside back yard. The buying experience with Crutchfield we a very painless process. The telephone consultants answered all my questions and the online order process was a breeze.

setup. It can even be paired with Bluesound's wireless powered subwoofer.

multiroom audio system.

BluOS Wireless High-Resolution Multiroom Audio: The
Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i
wireless speaker is part of the
BluOS wireless high-resolution
multiroom audio eco-system - consisting of powered speakers, soundbar
speakers, amplifiers, players, and hard-drives. The BluOS wireless
high-resolution multiroom audio ecosystem uses your home's wired or wireless
network to connect multiple Bluesound products and play your music in perfect
sync, or different music simultaneously, anywhere in your home. Using advanced
technologies (like dual-band WiFi and an ARM Cortex9 1GHz Processor), BluOS can wirelessly transmit lossless music up to 24-bit/192kHz
at ultra-fast speeds with no lag and zero loss in sound quality.

Number of BluOS Zones: Up to 16 Bluesound devices can be connected in a strictly
wireless environment. Demonstrated practice has shown that you can
create up to 8 groups of 8 Bluesound devices or 4 groups of 16 Bluesound
devices. If you want to connect more than 16 Bluesound devices,
you will need to connect the Bluesound devices to your network using a wired
connection. BluOS can then control up to 64 devices in a strictly wired
environment.

Note: Gen 2i of Bluesound is compatible with earlier generations of
Bluesound products.

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Bluesound Pulse
Mini 2i can be connected to your home network and Internet provider via a hardwired
Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 jack connector or wireless 2.4/5GHz dual-band WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/ac connection.
The 5GHz WiFi band offers a more faster and reliable connection with less
interruptions and dropouts. Either
network/internet connection allows you to stream music libraries from your Windows or Mac
computer and NAS drive (such as the Bluesound Vault 2i, sold separately); as
well as stream select online music services and internet radio.

Wired Ethernet Setup: A wired connection to the network is simple
and requires no setup. If you wish to use the wired connection, simply
connect the Pulse Mini 2i directly to your router or home network using an
Ethernet cable (sold separately).

Wireless WiFi Setup: A wireless connection allows you to place
your BluOS Player virtually anywhere inside your home, but does require setup
through the BluOS app on your Apple iOS or Android device. If you are on a
Windows PC (7/8/10) or Apple Mac, you'll use Bluesound's web browser based
application. You'll be walked you through the set-up process step-by-step.

Note: A wireless network connection will always be required for the BluOS
Controller
App.

FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WMA-Lossless, MQA music files over your home's WiFi
network or directly from a connected USB mass storage class device. The

wireless multiroom audio system to support MQA (Master Quality Authenticated).
MQA is a revolutionary end-to-end technology that captures and delivers master
quality audio in a file that's small enough to stream or download. Bluesound

to ensure the listener will hear MQA encoded music and streams exactly like the
source and the way the artist intended you to hear it when it was approved in
the studio.
